Equipment

  • High Speed Blender (like a Vitamix)

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup Raw Cashews (Unsalted)
  • 1 cup Unsweetened Plant Milk
  • 1/8 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1/8 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 Tbsp Hot Cherry Pepper Brine (or Pickled Jalapeño Brine)
  • 8 oz Shredded Vegan Cheese or Slices (American or Cheddar)
  • Salt (to taste)

Instructions
 

  • Soak the raw cashews in boiling water for 10 – 15 minutes.
  • Blend the drained cashews with the unsweetened plant milk in a high speed blender until smooth.
  • Add everything but the cheese shreds to a saucepan over medium heat, whisk to combine and bring to a light boil. Add cheese shreds and whisk until melted. Taste and adjust for seasoning, and add more plant milk if the sauce is too thick.
  • Enjoy with chips, fries, or on a cheesesteak!

Notes

Vegan Cheese - You can really use whatever you like! I prefer Daiya Cheddar Shreds or American Slices for this recipe. Follow Your Heart is also solid. 
 
I've found that different brands of vegan cheese will result in thicker or thinner sauces, so if yours is too thick, simply add more plant milk until it's at your desired consistency.
